Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. It specifies requirements for retroreflective and fluorescent materials to ensure workers are conspicuous in hazardous situations.

What is the ATPV rating?

ATPV stands for Arc Thermal Performance Value, measured in cal/cm². It indicates the amount of energy a fabric can withstand before it breaks open and causes a second-degree burn. A higher ATPV rating means better protection against electric arc flash.

Can this t-shirt be worn as a base layer?

Yes, its soft fabric and comfortable fit make it suitable as a base layer, especially when layered under other protective garments. However, ensure the base layer is also flame-resistant if required by the work environment.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart available on their website or product pages. The t-shirt should fit comfortably without being too tight or too loose, allowing for movement and proper layering.

Is this t-shirt suitable for welding?

Yes, due to its flame-resistant and antistatic properties, it is suitable for welding environments where protection from sparks and heat is necessary. Always ensure it is worn as part of a complete protective system appropriate for the specific welding task.

How often should I replace this t-shirt?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. Look for signs of wear such as thinning fabric, damaged reflective tape, or compromised stitching. Replace immediately if protective properties appear to be degraded or if certifications are no longer visible.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility over time

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Harsh detergents or improper drying can affect the reflective tape. Avoid excessive washing if not necessary.

Loss of flame-resistant properties

Follow all care instructions strictly. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or dry cleaning, as these can compromise the flame-resistant treatment and fabric integrity.

Static discharge still occurs

While the garment has antistatic properties, extreme conditions might still produce minor static. Ensure the garment is clean and dry. Avoid wearing it over highly insulating underlayers. Prolonged wear in extremely dry environments can sometimes reduce effectiveness.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with technical fabrics. Ensure you are not using excessive detergent and try ironing at a low temperature as per care instructions to restore softness.
